If you have a fishing trip coming up, chances are, you’re already excited and can’t wait to be out in the open sea. You probably have your fishing apparel on point, fishing gear sorted out and organized, and perhaps even a fishing charter booked. But have you thought about where you’ll be fishing?
It can be frustrating to wander about the ocean; waiting hours on end to catch the best fish requires patience and determination that not everyone has. To make the most out of your fishing trip, you need to do your research beforehand and understand where and how to overcome the challenge of finding the best fishing spots!
Here’s how you can do that:
Google Earth
Yes, it works.
In order to understand and determine where the best fishing spots are in a body of water, Google Earth can be a big help. It allows you to see everything, from smaller bodies of water to active fishing grounds, ditches, flooded covers, and more.
Is It Fishing Season Yet?
The season you’re fishing in plays a great role in your chances of finding the best fishing spots. Keep in mind that during the summer months, and water is warmer, and the fish can be found in shallow waters.
Moreover, don’t just pick the first spot you arrive at and deem it the best one. Be open to moving around and discovering new ones in the area as well. If you notice a number of birds and animals around the area, keep in mind that this could be a sign that there is significant baitfish in the area.
Structure and Vegetation Matters
This is a crucial factor that can’t be overlooked. Fish thrive in areas that are well-protected, and you can find their numerous habitats there. These areas are mostly structured and full of vegetation. When we speak of structures, it’s important to understand that they differ for every fish type. Fish like bass, for instance, can be found near docks and laydowns.
Different types of fish also live around different kinds of vegetation. If you’re on a hunt for bass, for instance, Hydrillas and Lily Pads are what you should be looking for. Hydrilla are actually known to be bass-magnets!
